Escape

[Intro] I wasn't only there But so I've been told [Hook] Three years old when I hit that road Taking matters into my own hands Nobody was ready to recognize my mood Guided by a mind with a master’s plan Brick by brick, stone by stone I’m leaving this prison that you call home [Verse 1] Focus in my eyes, no noise in my head Three years small but I knew what I said Didn’t need saving, didn’t need proof Just a line in the ground and a point to move Endless pavement, no map, no sign Just proving I could cross that line [Verse 2] Corner store glow at the edge of the plan An older man knew who I am Didn’t say much, didn’t raise his voice But recognition broke the choice The plan cracked clean, didn’t fall apart Just distance growing in a guarded heart [Chorus] I’m still walking, yeah I never stayed Survival with no answers paved Still walking streets that never end Looking for the kid I was back then Not lost, just out of frame Relentless feet, unfinished name [Verse 3] Defiance aimed straight at the odds Not loud, not brave, just never paused I wasn’t running, I was drawn By something bigger than right or wrong Relentless motion, forward lean Survival’s shape, half-known, unseen [Hook – Reprise] Three years old when I hit that road Taking matters into my own hands Brick by brick, stone by stone Still leaving prisons called home [Chorus] I’m still walking, yeah I never stayed Survival with no answers paved Still walking streets that never end Looking for the kid I was back then Not lost, just out of frame Relentless feet, unfinished name [Chorus] I’m still walking past every door Past what I needed, past what I’m for Every step argues with the past I didn’t break, I learned to last No finish line, no sudden truth Just motion keeping me in use [Hook] I didn’t beat the odds, I wore them thin Outlasted every closing in Still walking, still not done I wasn’t saved, I just kept going
